How To Use Shilajit
Important Notice: Shilajit has a long history of traditional use. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a medical condition such as high blood pressure, consult a healthcare professional before use.
Determine the Right Dosage
- Standard Dosage: Start with a small dose of 300-500 mg per day (pea size amount on tip of the spoon). Once your body adjusts, you may gradually increase the dosage if needed, but never exceed 1 gram per day.
- Consistency: For best results, consider incorporating Shilajit into your daily routine. Regular use over time may allow the body to benefit from its natural mineral content.
Choose the Right Form
- Resin: The purest form of Shilajit. Dissolve a pea-sized amount (300-500 mg) in warm water, tea, or milk. Stir until fully dissolved, then consume as part of your routine.
Best Time to Take Shilajit
- Morning: Shilajit is often best taken on an empty stomach in the morning. This may support your routine and overall well-being throughout the day.
- With Meals: Alternatively, you may take it with meals, especially if you have digestive sensitivity.
- Avoid Late Evening: To avoid potential interference with sleep, it is recommended not to take Shilajit late in the evening.
Combining Shilajit with Other Ingredients
- Warm Water or Milk: Mixing Shilajit with warm water or milk may help with its integration into your routine and be gentler on digestion.
- Herbal Teas: Combine with herbal teas, such as ginger or tulsi, for a flavorful experience and to complement your wellness routine.
- Smoothies and Juices: For a convenient option, add Shilajit resin to smoothies or juices as part of your daily routine.
Storage and Handling
- Keep It Sealed: Store Shilajit in a tightly sealed container to maintain its potency.
- Room Temperature: Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Avoid Contamination: Always use clean, dry utensils when measuring Shilajit, especially if it’s in resin form.
Additional Tips
